I have a 100s -11IBY running Win 10 I have been using a Samsung 64gb Micro sd card formatted NTFS.and has been working ok and I have stored data. Recently the built in card reader no longer recognises the card or makes any sound when I insert or remove the card. The card reads as a Fat 32 on my desktop and now has no data stored. I have tried other cards which I know are working with in the built in cars reader with the same result.In divice manager on the 100s the SD Host controller lists 3 identical host controllers and state divice is working properly. Same with the SD storage class contoller. I have tried updating the drivers in both and it says the best driver for your divice is already installed . The 100S is about 4 months old Please help

Hello everybody,I want to ask for help with my internal card reader on the laptop. Sometimes it works, but when I need it the most it doesn't read the card and no drive shows up in my computer. I tried installing the Genesys drivers but nothing changed. Neither can I find the reader in device manager. Please help. Thanks in advanceHappy holidays

Hello Everybody , I would really need your help to figure this out ! yesterday, I used my card reader in my laptop ( ideapad 500-15ISK ) and I entered and SD-HC 4GB card on it , and copied some files. Then after it , I had a Memory stick Duo like this one : ?of course it was smaller than the slot, I thought I might try nevertheless ! ( I hope that this wasn't a bad idea and I burned my card reader !!! ) of course , it didn't work ! so I just removed and forgot about it ! today, I was trying again to put the SD-HC 4GB card, and it didn't work, and I tried another one , it didn't work.I tried installing all the drivers in the support.lenovo.com that has to do with my laptop, still didn't work. Anybody knows what could have happened ? What should I do ? did I damage my card reader ? My laptop is relatively new, it has been only 4 months since I bought.

Just bought this new laptop (Ideapad 110 - 15 ACL), and SD Card Reader is not recognizing the SD card when I insert it. SD Card not even showing up on Windows Explorer. Have tried downloading new driver and rebooting, but still nothing. Can't find any solutions online. At a loss, just bought laptop & about ready to return if can't fix. Can't figure it out.

Hi! Seeking for your help. I have a Lenovo Z470. Apps run slowly so I decided to upgrade its RAM from 2GBx1 to 4GBx2. However, only 1 4GB ram works. BIOS shows that 8gb is detected but in the Computer Properties, only 4GB is shown. I've tried swapping RAM slots but still only one stick works. By the way, here the RAM specs I'm trying to use for the upgrade: 4GBx2 (SO-DIMM 1333 MHz DDR3. The processor is Intel i5 2410M. Also, after upgrade from 2GB to 4GB, my laptop's performance became faster. But after a week, it slowed down again. I also noticed that the laptop overheats. The fan does not continuously spin and is making noise. I am thinking if updating the BIOS (currently Lenovo 4ACN33WW, 05-May-11) would fix the issue. However, I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 10 64-bit.

Hello there, I'm new here, but I own this laptop for quite a while. I have been using the SD card reader with windows 10 in the past, but since I reinstalled my windows (and the drivers) the card reader will not work. Anybody else has this problem or a solution for it? Edit: I forgot to mention that I also tried to manualy install it by pointing to the .ini file from the DrvBin64 folder, but it said the folder does not contain a compatible software driver.

Hello. I have a Lenovo ideapad 100s - 80R2 that I just bought a few years ago. The device is running Windows 10 Home, build 1511. I have recently bought a Sandisk 32GB microSDHC card for use of the built-in microSD card slot of the device. When I tried to insert the card into the slot, there was not "Hardware Insert" notification sound coming out of Windows. I thought the card wasn't working. When I managed to insert the card into a USB microSD card reader, the system was able to detect the card, so it means it's working fine, but the microSD card isn't. I tried to find any updates for the SD card controller of the device, but it says it's already the latest version. Any help?

Hello, I just bought a new Lenovo ideapad 320. It is working allright and doing his job, but there is only one thing that's not working. The delete button is not working, aswell as the button in the numpad. I also tried the on-screen keyboard, but it's not working either. Has anyone the solution to this problem? Thanks! EDIT: When I restart the notebook it works for a little time, but after a couple of minutes it stops working. Solved it. One of my programs has got key bindings. One of them was made to delete by accident.

I have a SONY VAIO VGN-FZ140E and am running XP pro SP3 (32-bit). I use my laptop only at home and use it to connect to the internet using WiFi.

The problem could be because I tried to be a "wise guy" sometime back and was messing around with the services and maybe ended up either disabling some service or setting it to 'Manual'.

I wanted to request if there is some utility which will do the following: Reset all services to the default settings Save the current status of services (in the form of HTML or Text file) Is there some place where I can see what the default AND recommended settings areBTW, I think the related services are follows (for the card reader problem) and am listing them along with the current settings (in case the information may be useful in trying to solve the problem):

I have recently bought a ( Used )Gateway notebook Model number MX8716B . The card reader on it is not working and is not listed in "my computer "hardware list , I suspect this may be a driver problem . I have searched for a driver to download to try and solve the problem but no success. I am running Vista.Gateways site was no help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A:Solved: card reader not working

Hi and welcome. Are there unknown devices listed in the device manager? Or anything with a yellow exclamation mark?

Also, I've edited your title to the thread, since your user name really doesn't indicate the problem, I have also moved you to the hardware forum for better assistance.

Hi, I am interested in dual-boot a Linux distro on my computer using an SD card. My idea is to plug a sd card into the reader and directly run a Linux on it (my laptop has only 128GB, so I won't partition my SSD due to limited space). I read another post about another Lenovo laptop about booting using SD card, and one of the comments points out that Lenovo laptop connected the SD card reader to the PCIe and not USB, so that booting from SD card is not possible. Is this the same case on my Ideapad 320-15IKB laptop? I hope I can run Ubuntu on a 128GB SDXC card. I tried to confirm the SD card reader is whether connected to the PCIe or USB through the device manager manu. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the card reader in the device manager. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.Jonathan

Whenever I insert a 128GB SDXC Card into my IdeaPad 500-151SK the following zaps-in at the bottom right corner of the screen: "There's a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it." I did have the same problem with 64GB SDXC Cards and took it back to the retailer, who, I think, fixed it. I hope that it is capable of read/writing to SDXC Cards up to 256GB? Your advice will be appreciated.Regards.

Hi everyone! The card reader on my newly bought Ideapad 700-15ISK doesn't work properly while it detects the inserted card, but in two minutes the card reader unmounts itself. The only way to reactivate it is to pull it out and put it back, but in a few minutes it unmounts again automatically even if I don't touch the computer at all. I think it is a software problem, but reinstalling the driver didn't help. Did someone experience similar problems?

I've found out that in continuous use it doesn't disconnect, but after cca. 27 seconds of idle time it unmounts itself.

lenovo z470. Trying to connect to tv via hdmi. When I connect, the tv doesn't read anything. I tried dual-monitor mode, where it shows the same thing on both screens, then I tried nothing on my computer but show on the tv, still didn't work but made my computer screen go blank. Now when I connect my computer to hdmi, it goes blank. It seems ridiculous, this should be so easy, I don't know what's going on!

A:lenovo z470 won't connect to TV via HDMI

Are you setting the TV to the correct HDMI input? Can you test the HDMI input with another device or test the Z470 with another HDMI monitor or TV? Have you tried another HDMI cable?

Hey everyone. I am having trouble with my Multi-Card Reader/SD Card Reader. I am trying to take pictures off of my SD card and put them on my computer. I have lost my USB cord for the camera and can't locate it at this time or I would do that.

So anyway, I put the card in the SD card drive and the green light does not come on. I then open up My Computer and the drive isn't even listed. I checked in Device Manager as well and as far as I know, it is not listed in there either. If it is, then it is under a name that I don't recognize.

So anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help in getting my computer to recognize my Multi-Card Reader/SD Card Reader.

Lenovo S500 Ideapad : Upgraded to windows 10 creator update. Never been able to use the media card reader.There are no bangs in the device manager. There is no smart card reader category also.Installed drivers.No Go. Has anyone been able to solve this. Attached a screenshot of my DM.Thanks.

Windows 7 SP2 Intel desktop PC.
I have a weird 3? slot internal USB card reader problem.
All SD and mSD cards (last with adapter) are recognized normally as storage devices except one Sandisk Extreme Pro 8GB micro SD, which worked normally until 2 weeks ago but still works normally with other external USB card reader.
With internal USB reader all SD cards used to be drive L: and still are L:, except this Sandisk Pro.
When this Sandisk mSd card is inserted nothing happens and looks like Windows considers it as nothing or something else but not a storage device.
Nor computer storage manager doesn't see it in internal card reader.

But when I use external card reader, this Sandisk SD card works normally and is given a letter S:.

It looks like some kind registry numerator of USB devices has listed this SD card ID as not storage device.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

A:SD card stopped working in old reader while reader and card are OK

If it were in the registry as not a valid device, it wouldn't work from the external reader, either. I would check to make sure that you don't have dirty contacts in the internal reader. Sometimes dust can get in there and raise havoc, especially on some SD cards which have more active contacts than others. One dirty contact can make one card not work, while other, low density cards, will.

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Z470 that had Windows 7 Home Basic and upgraded itself to Windows 10.When I want to recover to the factory state with OneKey Recovery within Windows 10 the program says that there is an error and recommends reinstalling, but it is useless.If I want to recover externally with the NOVO button it boots with the standard Windows 10 recovery procedure and I can not take it to the original state.Could Windows 10 have changed anything? How do I fix it?Thank you

Hello. I got brand new Lenovo Z70-80 yesterday. Today I installed Windows 10 Pro, and seems to everuthing runs just fine. Great laptop, beautifull display... Then I tried SD card reader. I hear the connect sound, it shows me SD card, i can open it, copy files, use it normal. But at some random moments it just unmounts it self, and then quickly mount it back. It takes a second to mount back sd card. Unmount and mount sound can be heard. I dont need to mount it manualy, no need to take off sd card. Under device manager:USB Controllers: Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader, Driver date 12/21/2015, Driver Version 10.0.10586.31222 When I mount sd card, it shows me SDHC card under Disk Drivers in device manager. Driver date 6/21/2006, Driver version 10.0.10586.0 I tried reinstaling card driver, but no luck.I also tried to move a little sd card when its in sd card slot, to see if it looses contact, but its not loosing it. Any suggestions? Tnx,Aleks

I own a LENOVO 100S Chromebook. Lenovo does not sell these any more. I looked online if my chromebook had a Card Reader. I also own a Kodak and need a Card Reader to do what I needed to do. The website I looked at stated that Yes it does. But... it did not state where. My question is If and Where is my Card Reader?

A:Card Reader? for LENOVO 100S

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !

According to your model's Hardware Maintenance Manual there is a card reader. It should be on the left side of the laptop and it is in between the USB port and the Audio Jack. The card reader may have a dummy card inserted into it to keep the slot free of dust. That may have prevented you from easily seeing it. Just eject the dummy card for use of the slot.

Here is your manual for your reference. Page #37 shows the location of the card reader.

Hi -- I just purchased the Lenovo Ideacentre AIO 910. It says it comes with a 3 in 1 media card reader; however, the slot is much too small for me to insert a typical SD card. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I have a "SanDisk Ultra CompactFlash" 4GB card and an internal card reader (HP desktop). When I insert the card into the reader, the green light above the slot turns on as if it recognizes the device, but it doesn't show up. Device Manager says that the driver is installed and working properly, and I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and restarted my computer. A system restore isn't really an option because it isn't my computer.

Any idea how I can fix this? Could it matter that I'm not on the Admin account on the computer?

Hey there, can I replace my ideapad's graphics card? It only got Geforce 920MX and I want to change it to a better one. and also, I've experienced a bluescreen of death on this laptop. I only had this for around 4 months, the error below has nvlddmkm.sys something. Can I get a fix for this one? I'm currently trying the solution microsoft gave to a user, it's by removing the driver and reinstalling a new one from nvidia. Are there any other solutions?

I inserted a 32G Kingston SD card and initially the system recognised it and said it was downloading software. This eventually stopped but the card didn't show under This PC. I removed it and entered it again, this time nothing. I have followed a similar link on this community and downloaded the driver software, it said it loaded and installed but no effect. The driver doesn't even appear under the drivers section of control panel.

None of the connections/ devices on the right side of my Laptop seem to work,except the DVD slot.Pluggin in an usb device will give no feedback from the system.Pluggin in a card reader will not return feedback from the system.No output if I plug in a headset in the combined audio connector.No exclamation marks in the device manager.No error feedback if I conduct a scan with the Lenovo Service Tool.Has anyone advice for this please or a similar experience before I go for guarantee service?RegardsDaniel
